Compass painting

It's awesome when you can integrate different subjects together: maths is one of those subjects that can cross every single key learning area. 

I mixed geometry and art by having the children use their compasses with paint brushes. Easy and really effective. From this you can go into lessons about circumference, diameter and radius. 

You can also use other art materials like pastels and crayons in your compass and come up with some interesting designs. Perhaps look at famous artists like Damien Hurst and Wassily Kandinsky's circles in art for inspiration.
